Medical conditions such as diabetes, asthma, obesity and other problems can affect your pregnancy.

About 84% of couples in the general population will conceive within one year if they do not use contraception and have sex regularly. Of those who don't conceive in the first year, about half will do so in the second year.

Your diet and exercise

Being overweight or underweight can affect your chances of conceiving. Too much or too little body fat can make your periods irregular or stop them completely, which can affect your ability to conceive.

Your weight is healthy if your body mass index (BMI) is between 20 and 25. Women whose BMI is more than 30 or under 19 may have problems conceiving. If your partner's BMI is more than 30, his fertility is likely to be lower than normal.
